I purchased this lathe used from an estate and although I received the paperwork with the lathe, I found very little other information on it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Searching the internet for information on this lathe has come up with some interesting finds. The model CZ300A is a part number used by various Chinese manufactures all for a slightly different model and configuration. If you search on this model you will come up with no less than 10 different configurations. I have not seen another lathe exactly like mine anywhere else. I did exchange e-mail with the Chizhou Household Machine Tools Works in China. This particular lathe was sold under their name and was sold as a deluxe model. It does have evidence of some hand scraping on the saddle and cross slides. Other than problems with the motor mount and motor itself I have not found any issues that could not be addressed with the lathe other than a crack in the compound dovetail. The metal is very thin where it is cracked and a damaged gib was possibly overtightened or something causing the damage. It has not caused me a problem, but knowing that it is there I do take light cuts when using the compound if possible.<\/p>\n

The specifications list the spindle taper at Morse 4 1\/2. The taper is a very short Morse 5 but is only about 2 inches deep. Standard MT5 centers and collet adapters fit it fine.<\/p>\n

It shares many features with the Grizzly G4016<\/a> and the Shop Fox M1019<\/a>, but each of those have a slightly different headstock.<\/p>\n

Based on the Date on the accuracy report, and the date stamped on the 3 Jaw chuck, this late was manufactured in June 1993 by the\u00a0Chizhou Household Machine Tools Works in Anhui China.<\/p>\n
